The survey was commissioned to launch TV series, Swamp People (series 3), airing on BLAZE (Freeview channel 63), which follows the adventures of real-life 'swampers' who make a living hunting alligators in the dangerous swamplands of Louisiana.

A BLAZE spokesperson said: "As we all return to work after the summer holidays, it's no surprise Brits are dreaming of how they might change their lives.

"The popularity of shows such as Swamp People highlights our fascination with adventurous, exciting and dangerous jobs that offer an alternative to the 9 to 5 routine."

The study found 71 per cent have thought about starting again, with more than half stating the desire comes from the feeling of being 'stuck in a rut' and wanting to do something more adventurous.

Forty-six per cent are fed up of the daily grind while a third just feel like they need a new adventure.

But more than a quarter admit their desire to up sticks is down to the unpredictable and often gloomy British weather.

While some just dream of starting again, a large number have seriously looked into ways they could have a new life, with 44 per cent researching other places to live in the UK.

Four in ten have also looked into moving abroad, while almost one in five have applied for different jobs.
